Refining Qi starts from repairing the panel.

Chapter 181 Star Source Liquid, War
Zhao Tingxian? !

Looking at the information given by the panel, Chu Zheng took a deep breath, his eyes full of disbelief.

He never thought that he would see Zhao Tingxian's name again under such circumstances.

After traveling across the endless universe, he had never expected that he would have an intersection with Zhao Tingxian, and so soon.

The golden statue before us sits high on the altar. The incense is burning brightly and believers are coming in an endless stream. The incense is so burning that the power of the incense and vows is almost visible to the naked eye.

Compared with the dusty golden body of the Taoist that Chu Zheng had seen in the Cangyun Secret Realm before, there was a huge difference.

"The Great Sage of Yin-Yang Mysterious Spiritual Demon Suppression..."

Looking at Zhao Tingxian's title, Chu Zheng couldn't help but think of many things.

The titles of gods are not chosen randomly, but have a lot to do with their power attributes and the stories of their deification.

Every god has a history of preaching, which introduces the specific process of becoming a god. This is extremely important. Without this thing, the gods will always be illusory in the minds of believers, and it will be impossible to collect the purest power of wishes.

Judging from this title, Zhao Tingxian has indeed come into contact with the power of Yin and Yang. As for where this Xuanling Zhenmo came from, there must be another hidden story.

Chu Zheng immediately clicked on the detailed information of the statue, and after taking a glance at it, his expression changed slightly.

The statue in front of us is of the fourth grade and has been worshipped for more than 30,000 years.

Even taking into account the huge difference in the speed of time flow in the Chaos Sea, Zhao Tingxian began preaching and cultivating believers at least hundreds of years ago.

Ever since Chu Zheng came into contact with the way of immortality, the name Zhao Tingxian has appeared constantly around him, and it can be said that he has heard of it for a long time.

But this was the first time he saw Zhao Tingxian's specific appearance.

Judging from the statue in front of him, this person has a long-term vision and has prepared a way out for himself a long time ago.

Chu Zheng even had some suspicion that Zhao Tingxian had foreseen the drastic changes that would take place in the Cangyun Realm long ago, and had been preparing to rebel against the Immortal Alliance hundreds of years or even longer ago.

Otherwise, the statue before us cannot be explained.

It has been quite some time since Zhao Tingxian's true body entered the Chaos Sea. Given the speed at which time flows in the Chaos Sea, his strength is likely to have improved.

Before, he had the ability to kill the Heavenly Lord, and now it is very likely that he has become an Immortal Lord.

In other words, his strength is already at the level of Immortal Venerable, rather than the Eight Tribulations True Immortal as the Immortal Alliance said. This possibility is undoubtedly greater.

The Immortal Lord, the supreme being of the immortal way, one step further is the Immortal King, the true pinnacle of the universe.

Even in a world as big as the Cang Yun Realm, life and death can be determined by a single word.

If this is true, Zhao Tingxian's current strength has already stood at the top of the pyramid of the universe.

Chu Zheng rubbed his brows and fell into deep thought. Zhao Tingxian was gifted. At a young age, he had already become an immortal and controlled the destiny of the world.

Judging from some clues about Zhao Tingxian, this person's ambition is extraordinary and his plans are very big.

Now he regards himself as a god, practices the way of incense and gods, absorbs the power of incense and vows, and cultivates so many believers.

I'm afraid he started planning this hundreds or even thousands of years ago.

The plan has been going on for so long, and combined with the fact that the Cang Yun Realm has been invaded by evil demons, what he wants to do is probably quite astonishing.

After some thought, Chu Zheng quickly thought of the Immortal Alliance.

Chu Zheng was always wary of the Immortal Alliance, and the words of the remnant soul of the true immortal in the Song family secret realm were always in his mind.

Since ancient times, no one who achieved true immortality in the Cangyun Realm and joined the Immortal Alliance has ever returned, with Zhao Tingxian being the only exception.

According to the calculation of time, it is very likely that after Zhao Tingxian took over the management of the Heavenly Dao of the Cangyun Realm, he discovered some secrets, which led to this series of changes.

After a while, Chu Zheng gave up thinking. The existing information was too little and it was difficult to analyze the useful truth.

After this incarnation tribulation is over, he can return to Cangyun and use the identity of Taixuan Saint Lord to investigate some secrets that ordinary people don't know.

No matter what it is, there will always be clues left. Even if only a few fragments are passed down, Chu Zheng can restore the specific picture.

After staying for a while, Chu Zheng turned around and left the temple.

Zhao Tingxian didn’t know how many places to nourish spirits like the stars under his feet there were.

Tens of thousands of years is too long a time. It is hard to imagine what role Zhao Tingxian plays in today's Chaos Sea.

…………

…………

After leaving the temple, Chu Zheng looked around and found that Nie Longhu had disappeared without a trace.

There were crowds of people bustling around, and every believer who walked out of the temple had a gentle smile on his face, with a calm expression and a peaceful mind.

As long as you offer sacrifices and worship regularly every month, you will be blessed by the gods and enjoy good weather, peace and prosperity for the country and the people.

This made Chu Zheng feel dazed for a moment. For these mortals, they could spend a hundred years in peace without having to worry about their livelihood.

Judging from this point alone, it seems... that they are much better off than the lower-class people on many stars. They don't need to think too much, they just need to live, reproduce, and then turn their offspring into sincere believers of the gods again.

Just do this, and they can survive until the gods die, because the incense gods will really protect the believers, which is the source of their power.

Chu Zheng came back to his senses and shook his head. This child on the star had been deprived of a future since the moment he was born. This was a bit too sad.

After walking around the city and not finding Nie Longhu, Chu Zheng did not wait there, but returned to the mountains where the patrol ship was buried.

The longer you stay in the city, the greater the possibility of being contaminated by cause and effect, and getting into unnecessary trouble.

To this star, he was just a passer-by and did not need to interfere too much.

People do not understand each other's feelings, and if someone tries to interfere forcibly, these believers will only regard him as an evil demon who destroys their peaceful lives.

Several days later, Nie Longhu finally returned to the valley.

In the past few days, he has roughly traveled around the entire planet and has learned a lot of information.

There is only one country on this planet, with a population of over three billion. From the king to the common people, most of them are believers of gods.

There are ninety-nine temples throughout the planet, and countless remaining shrines and tablets, which are worshipped in many people's homes.

"The strongest person on this planet is only as powerful as a Daotai realm cultivator. He poses no threat to us."

Nie Longhu looked a little cautious: "After all, this is a place where a god nurtures his spirit. We should not stay here for long. We should collect the Star Source Liquid as soon as possible and leave this place without delay."

With the power of this star and two suits of fifth-level armor, the two of them don't have to worry about any threats and can practice in peace for a period of time.

But the problem is that this star has an owner, and the star source liquid extracted from an owner has completely different properties.

This was tantamount to challenging the bottom line of a god. It was no different from breaking into someone else's cave and robbing them wantonly. It was a bandit act. "Thank you, Brother Daoist Nie." Chu Zheng nodded in agreement. He did not know how to extract the Star Source Liquid, so he needed Nie Longhu to help.

Nie Longhu grabbed Chu Zheng, used the earth escape technique, and disappeared into the ground.

The thick rock wall kept splitting and then closing again. The two of them dived down like fish in water and soon reached the center of the earth.

Rich fire essence was spreading across the area, and everywhere you looked was a sea of ​​magma.

The temperature here is terribly high, even for ordinary cultivators it is hard to bear, and a mortal would turn to ashes if touched.

Nie Longhu did not pause at all. He spread out his fingertips and drew talismans in the air, condensing them into a formation in the blink of an eye.

Chu Zheng stared at it intently. These runes were not difficult to understand. He could remember them easily in his mind and understand them at a glance.

This formation has some similarities with the method of absorbing Qi, but there are some minor differences.

puff--

The boiling magma broke open an obvious gap, and a stream of pale golden unknown spiritual liquid gushed out.

The spiritual liquid entered the magic circle, and after circulating for several hours, it shrank a hundred times and condensed into a wisp of colorless essence Qi. The fluctuations of Yuan Qi were extremely rich.

There was a thin layer of sweat on Nie Longhu's forehead. He slowly raised his hand and pushed the strand of essence in front of Chu Zheng.

[Star Source Liquid (Level 4): Made from the essence of lower-level life stars, it is made with exquisite techniques and has extremely high purity. It can greatly speed up the cultivation speed of creatures of Level 4 and below.]

"Fellow Daoist Nie, how many levels are there of stars in the universe?"

Looking at the words "lower-class stars", Chu Zheng was somewhat confused.

He had been very curious about the classification of stars for a long time. He had luckily obtained a fragment of an elixir before, the Hundred Star Pill, which was made of the cores of a hundred inferior stars as its main ingredient.

Nie Longhu was no longer surprised by Chu Zheng's occasional questions, which were almost common sense. After all, he was a self-taught person and had no master to guide him, so it was normal for him to know nothing.

"In the universe, stars can basically be divided into three categories: upper, middle, and lower."

"Above the superior stars, there is another type of top-grade stars. However, strictly speaking, top-grade stars can no longer be considered stars. They should be called small worlds. They have complete laws of heaven and true spirits of heaven, and they already have a certain combat power."

"Combat strength?"

Chu Zheng instantly thought of the Cang Yun Realm. Since an Immortal King could personally suppress it, the power of the Heavenly Dao True Spirit in the Cang Yun Secret Realm must be extraordinary.

"Your cultivation is still shallow, and you are not yet in touch with the laws of heaven."

Seeing that Chu Zheng seemed puzzled, Nie Longhu patiently explained:
"Wind, fire, thunder, spiritual energy and tides are all manifestations of the power of heaven. When your true body returns to the void and merges with the Tao, you will naturally be able to come into contact with these laws."

"The cultivation of living beings depends on the laws of heaven and earth. In fact, they are all harming heaven and benefiting themselves. Therefore, no matter what kind of Taoism they follow, there will be disasters befalling them, but the appearances are different."

After hearing this, Chu Zheng seemed to understand something. Nie Longhu had already seen through his depth but just didn't point it out directly.

"Above the Small Thousand Worlds is the Middle Thousand Worlds, where the laws of heaven are more complete and have a clearer sense of self."

"Generally speaking, the Middle Thousand Worlds already have a very strong rejection instinct, and when they encounter an invasion from outside their domain, they will violently resist."

“Further up, in the universe, the power of the Heavenly Dao has undergone a qualitative change. The outstanding ones among them can rival the Golden Immortals, and in a moment, they can suppress the Mysterious Immortals.”

"If living beings were born in this world, they would be suppressed even more. For example, in the Great Immortal Realm of the Immortal Alliance, those Immortal Kings and Immortal Lords did not even have a chance to fight back when faced with the judgment of the Heavenly Dao."

Having said that, Nie Longhu looked at Chu Zheng's reaction, and then felt slightly surprised.

There was no doubt on Chu Zheng's face. He was obviously familiar with the Immortal Alliance and had even heard of the name of the Great Immortal Realm.

This is very intriguing. Many people know about the Immortal Alliance, but very few have heard of the "Great Immortal Realm".

He has no knowledge of the universe, but knows everything about the Immortal Alliance and even the Great Immortal Realm. It is very likely that Chu Zheng originally came from the territory under the jurisdiction of the Immortal Alliance.

Thinking of this, Nie Longhu's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he raised his hand to draw the magic circle he had just laid out:

"Fellow Daoist Chu, I can teach you the method of extracting the Star Source Liquid, but that's all. You must never mention this to anyone else in the future."

"We met by chance. After this ordeal, I don't know you, and you have never seen me. Fellow Daoist, please erase the name Nie Longhu from your mind."

In order to avoid future troubles, Nie Longhu said it directly in advance.

Qigong practitioners basically hate getting involved in the cause and effect of other people, because it is uncontrollable, and if by mistake they trigger their own calamity energy, it can easily cause big problems, which can result in a setback in their path at the very least, or even their lives at the worst.

There are quite a number of Qi-refining masters, even if they have accepted disciples, will repeatedly warn their disciples not to mention their sect's inheritance when they go out to gain experience, so as to avoid bringing disaster upon themselves.

This is a two-sided issue. If a master makes enemies, it may bring unnecessary trouble to the disciples. On the other hand, he is also worried that the disciples may provoke powerful enemies that they cannot afford to offend, thus eradicating the enemies completely and causing disaster to the whole family.

As long as the master is still there, there will be a possibility of revenge in the future. If the inheritance is broken, then everything will be over.

Now Chu Zheng’s origins are unknown, and he is involved with the Immortal Alliance. It is too dangerous. As a Qi cultivator, he survived in the territory of the Immortal Alliance. It is hard for him to imagine how Chu Zheng managed to do it, but he has no intention of finding out.

Because he had a vague suspicion that Chu Zheng was an old monster in some immortal alliance, who was specifically used to test the method of refining Qi.

In this way, it makes sense that Chu Zheng was able to transform into an incarnation and experience tribulations without having reached the Golden Core stage of cultivation. With the protection of the Immortal King, crossing the starry sky is not a difficult task.

Facing Nie Longhu's sudden move that seemed to draw a line between them, Chu Zheng was a little confused for a moment. After a slight hesitation, he did not ask any more questions and nodded:
"Thank you for the reminder, Brother Nie. I'll make a note of it."

It was just a chance acquaintance. After this ordeal, he probably would hardly have the chance to meet Nie Longhu again in this life.

…………

…………

In the blink of an eye, several months have passed.

In the center of the earth, Chu Zheng was sweating profusely as he continuously extracted the star source liquid without any pause.

He had to accumulate enough Star Source Liquid as soon as possible and leave this place.

After entering the golden elixir, the calamity energy that had been silent for a long time seemed to show signs of revival.

drip-

A sharp sound was heard, Chu Zheng paused, and quickly realized that this was an alarm from the warship.

Something went wrong with the battleship parked in space.

Chu Zheng immediately stopped what he was doing and returned to the ground after a moment.

That battleship is very important to him at this stage and cannot be lost.

As soon as he stepped onto the ground, a loud roar was heard above Chu Zheng's head. Huge black shadows crossed the sky and patrolled the earth.

Looking at the endless warships in the sky, Chu Zheng's pupils slightly dilated. He was stunned as he watched the series of information about the Tianyao Federation pouring out in front of him.
